If you had no past, were you able to accept a partner who did?
I’m a guy in my early 20s, and my partner and I love each other a lot. She loves me deeply and I love her just as much. I don’t want to leave her.
The problem is that she had been involved with two people before me. I personally didn’t have a relationship in the past, so this has been difficult for me to process. Most of the time I’m completely fine, but sometimes thoughts about her past get stuck in my head and completely destroy my peace.
I know her past happened before me, and I know she chose me and loves me now. I also don’t want to punish her for something she did before we were together. I have known her since childhood and I know woh aik buri insaan nahi hai.
But marriage is a serious decision, and I’m scared of making that commitment only to spend years wondering about her past. What if I never truly get over it? What if these thoughts keep coming back for the rest of my life?
For those of you who didn’t have a past yourselves but married someone who did: were you actually able to accept it and move on? Did the thoughts eventually become irrelevant, or did they continue bothering you?
I’m not looking for people to tell me to simply “get over it.” I genuinely want to hear from people who have been in this situation and what happened over time.
